INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF CASTLE COURT SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED
AUDITORS, RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THEAUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objective5 are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ about ￿ether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslalement. whether
due to fraud or error, and lo issue an auditors ￿port that indudes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI wll always detect a material mtsstslemenl when Il exists. Misstatements ¢an arise
from fraud or error and are considered malerial if, individualty or in the aggregate. they could rea50nabty be expected lo influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basi5 of these financial statements. We exerryse professional judgement and maintain professional $￿ptiCIsM
throughout the audtt.
Irregularities, induding fraud. are instances of non-compliance with la￿ and regulations. We design procedures in line wth our ￿SponSibl11t1es,
outlined above, to delect material misstatements in respeca of irregularities, induding fraLKI. Our approach to detecting irregularities, intluding fraud.
is delailttd below.
we ensured that the engagement team collective￿ had the appropriate competence, capabiliiies and sk411$ to identfy or recognise non-
cornpliance with applicable laws and regulations and that they rem31r￿1 alert to instar5(ts of non-compliance throughout the audit.,
we identified the legal and regulatory requirements applicable lo Ihe school, and obtair￿d an unde￿tandIng of how the school complies with
these requirements through discussions wth managemenl and those charged wth govemanc£ and from review of relevant edu¢ation inspection
reports",
we assessed the susceptibilty ol the financial statements to material misstatement. induding obtaining an understanding of how fraud Might
occur. This VfdS done by making enquiries of management a5 to vknere they considered there ¥WdS SU5ceptibility to fraud. their krn0￿edge of aclu81,
suspected and alleged fraud., and considering the intemal controls in place lo mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance v￿th law5 and regulations..
we addressed the risk of fraud through management bias and the over-ride of controls by assessing whether jlklgements and assumptions
made by management were indicative of potential bias and by invesb"galing the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In order to
address the risk of irregularities carried out procedures ￿1¢h indudeil agreeing the financial Statements to undedying documentation and
enquiring of management as to actual and polenlial 11b"gation and instances ol norh-Gompliance',
we obtained an understanding of inlemal Control relevant lo the audil in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate lo our audit
objectives. but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effecawene5s of the school's inlemal control.
There are inherent limitations in our aLKlit Pfocedures described above. The more removed that la￿ and regulations are trom financial transactions,
the less likely il is that would become a￿are of non-complian¢e. Audth"ng slandards also limit the audit p￿￿dureS wuired to identify non-
ompliance lo enquiry of management and inspection of relevant Gorrespondetlce. Furthemiore, misstatements due lo fraud (xn be harder lo
dele¢t than those that arise from error as they may it)volve deliberate concealment and collusion.
A further desuiplion of our responsibilits'es for the audit ol the finanual statements is located on the Finanryal Reporting Council's website al..
